Tokiko Illumina shock compression/rebound rates
I know these are popular shocks, anyone know what the adjustable rates are? I can't find them anywhere.
They are only single adjustable, so I'm guessing the rebound stays the same, but the compression changes?

No, it adjusts both compression and rebound in the adjustment. I wish it kept compression vavling the same, and only adjusted rebound, that would make it a little more usefull.
Here is the closest I could find, from a Koni site, this is based on Mustang rear shock valving comparing Koni to Tokico. This is the graphing that Koni says they tested Tokico's at.

Oops, I'll add the front one, this is also for a mustang, but you get an idea of the adjustment range. I would guess our fronts are a bit different than this, but the rears are probably not much different.

I only have the fronts, rears are stock. It appears that 5 is the weakest, and 4 is the stiffest. I had them on 4 to begin with and it was stiff as hell but still comfortable.
Looks like 1 is the best combination of compression strength and rebound weakness.
